(See previous thread about 4yo losing his marbles for background)
So, DS is saying that he wants to learn things, wants to learn harder stuff, etc. Basically, he's expressed repeatedly that he is looking for some actual instruction.
1. I don't want to do math, unless it's logic or other stuff not likely to be taught in school. He's far enough ahead already as it is.
2. His writing is mid-K level at best and an area where he is easily frustrated. They do a lot of writing at preschool already. So, I don't want anything with any real writing, though he can easily circle, underline, and write a few letters or numbers.
3. He can read at about a mid 3rd-grade level; higher if interested, esp. when it comes to science and nature. Science is a primary interest.
Some kind of science, logic, or...reading comp? where he could just circle answers or answer questions verbally would be really good. He wants to "do work" and show mastery, not just read or look at stuff. Here's the catch--I have little time to find or set up this stuff. So I'm looking for something canned--curriculum, workbooks, or a nice list. Online is okay. He's fine with a mouse, but not super-great with high-level hand-eye stuff yet. I find that if the content is on his level, the motor skills required may not be.
My thinking is that he can do it during his sister's homework time which is (cringe) an hour to an hour and a half daily.
We have tons and tons of books and games already. He likes all that, but wants to be set a task. I have not been workbook-oriented. All we really have is maze books and some nature coloring books.
